STARTING AND DRIVING211
Before starting the engine, be sure to
follow the instructions in “(a) Before
cranking”.
Normal starting procedure
The multiport fuel injection system/sequen-
tial multiport fuel injection system in your
engine automatically controls the proper
air−fuel mixture for starting. You can start
a cold or hot engine as follows:
Multi−mode manual transmission:With
your foot off the accelerator pedal, turn
the engine switch to the “START” posi-
tion and crank the engine while depress-
ing the brake pedal. Release the key
when the engine starts. The engine can-
not be cranked if the shift lever is in a
position except “N” or the brake pedal
is not depressed.
Manual transmission:With your foot off
the accelerator pedal, crank the engine
by turning the engine switch to the
“START” position. Release it when the
engine starts.
Engine should be warmed up by driving,
not idling. For warming up drive with a
smoothly turning engine until the engine
coolant temperature is within the normal
range.
If the engine stalls...
Simply restart it, using the correct proce-
dure given in normal starting.
If the engine will not start...
See “If your vehicle will not start” on page
220 in Section 4.
NOTICE
zDo not crank for more than 30 se-
conds at a time. This may overheat
the starter and wiring systems.
zDo not race a cold engine.
zIf the engine becomes difficult to
start or stalls frequently, have the
engine checked immediately.
Pre−trip safety check
It is a good idea to do a safety check
before starting out on a trip. A few min-
utes of checking can help ensure safe and
pleasant driving. Just a basic familiarity
with your vehicle is required and a careful
eye! Or, if you would like, any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional, will
be pleased to make this check for you at
nominal cost.
CAUTION
If you make this check in an enclosed
garage, make sure there is adequate
ventilation. Engine exhaust is poison-
ous.
